    Rain... Feed getting wet... HELP:(

    Hey guys! I'm in Oregon and it just started really raining. I'm new to chickens and my feeder is keeping the feed inside dry because I have a big piece of slate rock sitting on top of it, but the feed on the bottom of the feeder is getting wet which in turn is clogging it up.... Suggestions please!

    Brahmans and baby chicks

    Hey all! I bought two four month old Brahman hens yesterday and I have ten five week old chicks... Buffs, Marans and Ameracaunas. Can I put them in with my Brahman hens? Someone said I could because the hens are so docile. What do you all think?!? Thanks!

    What time in the morning do you let your chickens out of the coop?

    Ok all... One more thing! I've heard mixed reviews on this... Leave the feeder in the coop or take it out in the morning and stick it back in at night? The have about two acres to free range during the day!
